NLRP3 and bronchopulmonary dysplasia: For example, acetate dampens the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in neonatal mice with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and protects lung injury [28]; the L-tyrosine pathway, a metabolite produced by enteric microbes, impacts the airway epithelium at the distal end to reduce allergic airway reactions [29].
